(Vertical bars denote new measures)

"Waiting on a Friend"

Jagger/Richards

Intro:

Csus2 (x4) Dm F {repeat, with "doo doo" vocals, piano solo}

|Am |F |G |C

Watchin' girls go passing by It ain't the latest thing

|G | |C |

I'm just standin' in a doorway

|G | |C |

I'm just trying to make some sense

$

|Am |F |G |C

1. Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men

|G | |C |

I'm not waiting on a lady

|G | |C | (return to $ for second verse)

I'm just waiting on a friend

2. A smile relieves a heart that grieves,

remember what I said.

I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend.

(after second verse, this bridge:)

|C |F |C

... on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend

|F |C |F |C

just waiting on a friend. I'm just waiting on a friend,

|F |C |F |C

I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend

(instrumental for 16 bars, just alternating F and C, one measure each, and

soloing away, then return to "$" for the last two verses)

3. Don't need a whore, don't need now booze,

don't need a virgin priest.

But I need some one I can cry to,

I need someone to protect.

4. Ooh, making love and breaking hearts,

It is a game for youth.

But I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend.

(repeat bridge, fade instrumental...)
